I went into this not sure of what to expect but found a lovely quick read bursting to the seams with mythos, legends, and history. We join an Icelandic trader who ultimately discovers more then he would like about spirits and with a singular mission to bring his new found horses to his homeland. Without knowing the specific history of these events I still none the less feel like care was taken to preserve the significance of the included cultures and their tales.

This could easily be an afternoon or otherwise quick read for someone traveling or just wants to change things up from their normal read.
